If I had a mission that's what it would be. I am not hopped up on missionaries because most missions I know of, creep. But having survived to my present age
the greatest thing I have learned is the reality of chance and opportunity. That is all what life is about. There is enough chance without taking chances or what is called, "pushing the envelope"

My Philosophy

If there were, had been or is a god it would even be by chance so chance is the prime reality we must recognize. All life developed by the collision of small particles over time and varying conditions.
Previously proposed by the by some ancient Greeks, the particular nature of matter has only been verified in the past 150 years, so our "racial memory" as Jung would call it, has yet to get used to that fact.
What else do I know? It is not good to be alone.
Because of this we seek spirit and other dimensions.
